Cruise Horror: Hellish vacation voyage comes to an end

Nightmare for cruise giant Carnival

The Carnival Triumph was being towed into port by tugboats as the drama played out live on US cable news stations, creating another public relations nightmare for cruise giant Carnival Corp. Last year, its Costa Concordia luxury ship grounded off the coast of Italy, with 32 people killed.
